SPECIAL NEEDS CAMP SUPPORT

With the aid of our support staff, the Darien YMCA offers campers with varying limitations the opportunity to participate in traditional camp experience in any of our camp programs.  Campers are immersed in camp in a fully inclusive program and campers are encouraged to participate in scheduled group activities.  Our camp offers eligible campers a 1:1 or 1:2 counselor to camper ratio at no additional cost.

Please see specific camp based on age/grade for fees and times.  Fees will be adjusted for those campers attending the ESY program.  Contact Suzanne Richards for more information and placement.
